Pet Vaccinations & Parasite Prevention

Pet Vaccinations & Reproductive Surgery Schedule

Up to date cat and dog vaccinations are key to protecting your four legged family member from contagious and often dangerous disease and conditions. Having your pet neutered or spayed, as well, can help protect them. This procedure not only prevents unwanted pregnancies, but helps to prevent cancer and other diseases. They may also help prevent problematic behaviors such as roaming, animals aggression, scooting and howling.

Cat Vaccinations

In their first year of life, kittens need the following shots to protect them from serious diseases. 

• 6 to 8 weeks
  • Rhinotracheitis, Calcivirus, Panleukopenia, Chlamydia
• 10 to 12 weeks
  • Booster: Rhinotracheitis, Calcivirus, Panleukopenia, Chlamydia
  • Feline Leukemia
• 14 to 16 Weeks
  • Booster: Rhinotracheitis, Calcivirus, Panleukopenia, Chlamydia
  • Feline Leukemia 2

  While the following are not kitten vaccinations, spaying, neutering and microchipping help protect your cat from a number of health issues, and therefore fall under the preventive health care umbrella. 

  • Spay (females) - Spaying your female cat prevents the birth of unwanted litters of kittens, protects your cat against serious illnesses, and can help to prevent behaviors such as howling and scooting that accompany heat cycles.
  • Neuter (males) - Neutering your male cat prevents your pet from fathering unwanted kittens, protects your cat against various illnesses, and can help to prevent territory marking (spraying), roaming, howling, and cat aggression. 
  • Microchipping - A microchip is a permanent form of identification that is about the size of a grain of rice and placed under your pet’s skin. Pets that are microchipped have a better chance of being reunited with their owners if they are lost.
